Everything works fine until you try to change everything.Multi-device support is coming to WhatsApp in the near future, and that's not just a rumor. It was confirmed by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and WhatsApp CEO Will Cathcart in early June. It's also one of the most-anticipated features WhatsApp users have been waiting for, and the company is beginning to test the feature, according to WABetaInfo.People have wished that WhatsApp could work on more than one device since the app grew in popularity more than half a decade ago. Not because everyone has more than one phone they use every day, though more people than you may think have both a personal phone and a work phone, but because people want to use WhatsApp on tablets or Chromebooks. As more people are connected more often through alternative devices, the smartphone can see less time in hand.To make matters worse, people can look to other services like Telegram or iMessage and see that chatting can be done using the same ac...

Premium Chromebooks like the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook are already seeing deep discounts ahead of Prime Day, so you can grab a great Chromebook and have it in time for Prime Day on Monday.No matter your budget this Prime Day, Goo...

The Google Pixel 5 is a wonderful phone with amazing cameras, but it continued an irksome trend from the Pixel 3 and Pixel 4: it's very picky about wireless chargers. The Pixel 3 basically only fast-charged on the Pixel Stand. The Pixel 4 was slightly better but it was still hard to find a reliable wireless charger for. The Pixel 5 supports 15W wireless charging using the Extended Power Profile (EPP) standard within the Qi charging spec, but because Apple, Samsung, and OnePlus all use proprietary wireless charging profiles, EPP actually isn't that widely used.Thankfully, one of the best Pixel 5 wireless chargers is seeing a Prime Day deal, even if it doesn't look like it on the listing page. The iOttie iON Wireless Duo is 30% off at checkout, bringing it back down to its lowest price ever.

The best time to pick up a Kindle is during Prime Day; Amazon tends to roll out huge discounts to its own products during the two-day sales event, and that's no different in 2021. We've already rounded up the best Prime Day Amazon device deals and the best Kindle Prime Day deals, but I want to focus on the entry-level Kindle e-reader and why you should consider buying one.A Kindle is the ideal way to read books; the e-ink screen doesn't cause eye strain, the battery lasts for weeks, and it can hold thousands of books and even stream your Audible audiobooks. The Kindle got a big upgrade back in 2019 with the introduction of an LED light, making it that much more versatile. For Prime Day, Amazon is selling the Kindle e-reader for just $55, a massive 39% discount from its usual retail price of $90. Incidentally, this is the lowest price we've seen for the Kindle; it went down to $60 in last year's sale. If you don't already have a Kindle, there's no better time to join the e-reader band...

Some of the most popular Prime Day searches this year are for Bluetooth speakers, and we can attest to the fact that Amazon has discounted hundreds of great devices in this category alone. Some are from no-name brands that you've never heard from, while others are on more premium speakers that still cost a pretty penny.

However, in my opinion, the best Bluetooth speaker deal going on right now is this one on the Bose SoundLink Revolve.Bose is well-known in the audio industry for making some of the best Bluetooth speakers around.
